SINGAPORE, June 23 (Reuters) - Singapore-listed JES International (JSIH.SI), a Chinese shipbuilding firm, said on Monday it has won $247.5 million worth of shipbuilding contracts.

JES said it will build four bulk carriers worth $180 million for Croatia's Atlantska Plovidba ATPL.ZA, and a oil tanker worth $67.5 million for Indonesian state oil firm Pertamina.

It is not clear if the contracts will impact JES's earnings in the 2008 financial year. JES said it has an order book of $1.13 billion as of March 31. (Reporting by Koh Gui Qing; Editing by Valerie Lee)
